Don't like to see the editor standing trial (6)
I believe the answer is:
detest
'don't' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'to see the editor standing trial' is the wordplay.
'to see the editor' becomes 'ed'.
'standing' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'trial' becomes 'test' (synonyms).
'ed' in reverse letter order is 'de'.
'de'+'test'='DETEST'
'like' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for detest that I've seen before include "Really dislike" , "Despise or loathe" , "'Loathe, abhor (6)'" , "Dislike thoroughly" , "Be unable to stand" .)
